This outdoor motion sensor is part of the Philips Hue series and is specially designed for outdoor use. It shares many similarities with its indoor counterpart, including its reliable performance and ease of installation. The main difference is that the outdoor sensor does not include a humidity sensor.

With this motion sensor, you can easily automate your outdoor lighting systems linked to your Philips Hue ecosystem. The sensor is designed to withstand the outdoor environment and can sense movement in the area, making it possible to activate your outdoor lights when someone approaches.

It is important to note that this sensor does not have a built-in humidity sensor, like its indoor counterpart. This means that it cannot measure humidity levels outdoors. If you have a need to monitor the humidity in your outdoor area, this may be a limitation to consider.

In summary, the Philips Hue outdoor motion sensor offers a reliable solution for automating your outdoor lighting, and it's especially useful if you're already part of the Philips Hue ecosystem. It is important to remember that it does not have a humidity sensor, so if this is a necessary function, it may be worth considering options.
